A unique and highly visual documentary that provides a detailed observation of the sacred Peruvian 'Yawar Fiesta of the Apu Condor'. A unique and highly visual documentary that provides a detailed observation of the sacred Peruvian "Yawar Fiesta of the Apu Condor". The Fiesta takes place high in the Peruvian Andes in the tiny village of Cotabambas, an impoverished farming community where all the contradictions that characterize Peru's splintered culture and economy are thrown into relief. Five hundred years after the arrival of Columbus and the Spanish Conquistadores, the indigenous Andinos, descendents of the Incas still live under the feudal control of their Mestizo Landowners, the mixed blood descendents of the Spanish. The themes of social stratification, ritual reversal and political relationships are an integral aspect of this film which culminates in a dramatic adaptation of the classic Spanish bullfight.

Azerbaijan, which occupies the southern part of the isthmus between the Black and Caspian seas, is a country rich in history, and in oil. So rich in oil, it should to be a textbook example of the benefits of globalization; however, as reporter Marcel Theroux explains, the vast amount of money coming in is not trickling down to the country's people, a short-sighted autocracy allows the privileged few to become wealthy. This historic program offers a rare look at the former president, Heydar Aliyev, who aligned with the international oil consortium Azerbaijan International Operating Company (AIOC) and also supported building the BTC pipeline from Baku to Ceyhan in Turkey, via the neighboring nation of Georgia, bypassing Russia and Iran. Before dying, he stepped down as president and named his son, Ilham, a former VP with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan, as his party's only presidential candidate, a position he won and has held since 2003. Today, Azerbaijan, despite mismanagement and corruption, remains a supporter of the war on terrorism and an ally of the United States; also since more oil from Kazakhstan will be diverted through Azerbaijan by the U.S. government, due largely to diplomatic wrangling with Iran and Afghanistan, which could foster instability in the Caspian Basin, the situation here continues to be complex to say the least.

This film deals with the issue of mandatory military service in Switzerland. For four months, from February to May 1990, filmmaker Jacqueline Veuve and her team filmed a platoon engaged in basic training at Colombier, Switzerland. This film deals with the issue of mandatory military service in Switzerland. For four months, from February to May 1990, filmmaker Jacqueline Veuve and her team filmed a platoon engaged in basic training at Colombier, Switzerland. Having previously filmed recruitment, Veuve was now allowed to document exercises, inspections and rest breaks. Although she interviewed the entire platoon on several occasions, the film focusses on five recruits from different parts of French-speaking Switzerland, each with a different background and a unique opinion on serving in the military. Time is also spent on the superior officers; the Colonel, the Major, the platoon-leader, and a Corporal. The recruits' remarks underline problems concerning not only the army, but life in general, including unemployment, drugs and the many changes going on in the world today.
